indexscans involving partial indexes.  These would always be dominated
by a simple indexscan on such an index, so there's no point in considering
them.  Fixes overoptimism in a patch I applied last October.

changes to make snprintf() vsnprintf() and printf()
functions in src/port/snprintf.c thread-safe.

it was in 7.4, and add some comments explaining why it has to be this way.
I broke it for OR'd index predicates in a fit of code cleanup last summer.
Per example from Sergey Koshcheyev.

in favor of looking at the flat file copy of pg_database during backend
startup.  This should finally eliminate the various corner cases in which
backend startup fails unexpectedly because it isn't able to distinguish
live and dead tuples in pg_database.  Simplify locking on pg_database
to be similar to the rules used with pg_shadow and pg_group, and eliminate
FlushRelationBuffers operations that were used only to reduce the odds
of failure of GetRawDatabaseInfo.
initdb forced due to addition of a trigger to pg_database.

implement the md5() SQL-level function). The old code did the
following:

1. de-toast the datum
2. convert it to a cstring via textout()
3. get the length of the cstring via strlen()

Since we are treating the datum context as a blob of binary data,
the latter two steps are unnecessary. Once the data has been
detoasted, we can just use it as-is, and derive its length from
the varlena metadata.

This patch improves some run-of-the-mill md5() computations by
just under 10% in my limited tests, and passes the regression tests.

I also noticed that md5_text() wasn't checking the return value
of md5_hash(); encountering OOM at precisely the right moment
could result in returning a random md5 hash. This patch corrects
that. A better fix would be to make md5_hash() only return on
success (and/or allocate via palloc()), but since it's used in
the frontend as well I don't see an easy way to do that.
